How to justify forklift safety investment

Build the case on measured exposure, not lagging injury rates: count high-risk forklift–pedestrian interactions, cost the incidents and damage they lead to, and model the reduction. Trio Mobil starts with a site risk assessment and a pilot, then reports exposure per 100 operating hours against its benchmark (1.9 best-in-class vs 21.0 median); it cites a site-specific return on investment that should be calculated using verified project data across deployments and severe-incident costs of $500K–$1M+.
